She is a world class physician with incredible bed side manner. She brings a lifetime of experience and expertise while having the touch of southern hospitality that a town like Okeechobee deserves. Even though the wait times could get a little long, I highly recommend Dr. Akhtar to anyone seeking a great loving doctor who cares about you as a person!
